This book is a licensed reprint of the original content from "Windows NT File System Internals", by Rajeev Nagar, originally published by O'Reilly & Associates in 1998. As recently announced in The NT Insider, OSR purchased the publishing rights to this industry-recognized book, and is pleased to be able to make this reprint available to the Windows file system development community, under the new, OSR Press publishing label.
The high level table of contents for this book is as follows:
Windows NT System Components,
File System Driver Development,
Structured Driver Development,
The I/O Manager,
The NT Virtual Memory Manager,
The NT Cache Manager (I, II, III),
Writing A File System Driver (I, II, III), and
Filter Drivers.
Again, please note that the original contents of this book (circa 1998) have not been updated for this reprint. However, given the core file system interface in Windows has not drastically changed (like other driver models in Windows), this book is still valuable to the Windows file system and filter driver development community. OSR Press does have plans for updates to the original contents of this book, likely to be published under a new title. Stay tuned!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very unique but has to be read with other recent materials.,
By Ahmed Sallam (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Windows NT File System Internals : A Developer's Guide (Paperback)
This book is by far, one of my most favorite books. It has been the only complete text book that explains the details of the Windows NT File Systems Framework. If you are to buy the book these days you would not feel the value of the book as I felt it when I started reading it six years ago. Nowadays, there are some other literatures that provides deeper coverage for certain topics like the OSR materials and the first IFS conference (both are available as part of the IFS kit). But still, the book remains the only complete reference. To get most of the benefits of this book, it is better that you look at the FASTFAT source code that comes with the IFS kit. The main drawback of the book is the lack of deep coverage for network based file system drivers. OSR materials provided with the IFS kit are essential to have better knowledge about File System FILTER drivers. Read the book while watching the videos of the first IFS kit conference, this will help a lot. Finally, if you are new to file system drivers then, be more patient while reading the book. You would not get everything from the first reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book - It deserves 5 stars.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows NT File System Internals : A Developer's Guide (Paperback)
Though this book was meant to teach about File system, it teaches more than what it promises. I had many questions in mind about NT. After reading this book, most of my questions are cleared. I strongly recommend this book to know more about NT. I really don't agree to rate this book with less than 5 stars. To believe me just try this book.
